The smallest county is 129 square miles large.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Smallest county = x

Largest county = y

According to given statement;

The largest county in the state of Texas is 6064 square miles larger than the smallest county in the same state.

y = x+6064     Eqn 1

The size of the largest county is 48 times the size of the smallest county plus one square mile.

y = 48x+1         Eqn 2

As Eqn 1 and Eqn 2 are both equal to y, therefore,

Eqn 1 = Eqn 2

x+6064=48x+1\\6064-1=48x-x\\6063=47x\\47x=6063

Dividing both sides by 47

\frac{47x}{47}=\frac{6063}{47}\\x=129\ square \ miles

The smallest county is 129 square miles large.

Elena L [17]

Answer: Percentage of female workers = 40%

Step-by-step explanation: No of Female workers = 80

                                             No of Male workers = 120

                                             Total No of workers = 120+80= 200

                                             percentage of female workers =80 of 200%= 40

A circular disc has a circumference of 16pi meters. if we multiply the radius of the circular disc is by 10, what is the circumf
Flauer [41]

The circumference of the new disc 160Π that is 10 time of old circumference.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Circumference of circular disc = 16Π (pi = Π)

Let, the radius of the circle be 'r'

Formula

The circumference of a circle with r radius = 2 Π r

According to the problem,

2 Π r = 16Π

or, 2r = 16 ( by eliminating the value of Π from both the side)

or, r = 8

Now, we multiply the radius by 10

so, the new radius is 8 X 10 = 80

Now the circumference = 2 Π X 80

= 160Π

Hence, the new circumference also will be 10 times of the older one.

What's the explicit rule for the sequence 3, -6, 12, -24, 48, ...?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

\sf \dfrac{-3}{2}(-2)^n

Step-by-step explanation:

Explicit formulas are used to represent all the terms of the geometric sequence with a single formula.

  \sf \boxed{\bf t_n = ar^{n-1}}

a is the first term.

r is the common ratio.

r = second term ÷ first term.

   3 , - 6 , 12, - 24, 48 ,........

a = 3

r = -6 ÷ 3 = -2

         \sf t_n = 3*(-2)^{(n-1)}\\\\

             \sf = 3*(-2)^{n}*(-2)^{-1}\\\\ =3*(-2)^n*\dfrac{-1}{2}\\\\= \dfrac{-3}{2}(-2)^n

Check:

\sf t_1 =\dfrac{-3}{2}*(-2)^1=\dfrac{-3}{2}*(-2) = 3\\\\\\t-2 = \dfrac{-3}{2}*(-2)^2 = \dfrac{-3}{2}*4=-6\\\\\\t_3=\dfrac{-3}{2}*(-2)^3=\dfrac{-3}{2}*(-8)=12
